weather. Meanwhile, the object or glow had been growing bright white
and much larger the time when I took its picture, it was about at
object wss at an angle of inclination
of three to five degrees. quietness of the night, I
rushed back inside, and as my parents ar were intently watching this
object from our dining room picture window, the object or glow, which
was now brilliant white, began moving westward with a greater velocity.
A grove of trees came between it and us, but I was able to follow it
and see it grow smallel er and change from its intense white to its dull
reddish-white glow, aw it pass between the WCLr Radio Station tow-
er and us, so I guessed the object was approximately two miles distant,
being above the valley through which the Licking River flows. When it
the same color as that when I had
first observoe t. and i growing fainter all the time. The reddish
color appeared gularly until, even through binoculars,
it disappeared.
I have since concluded, after retracing its path in daylight, that
the flashing was caused by telephone and electric wires passing behind
(2)
one wing tip. Also, there were no flashing ligh
as I know, all aircraft have.
(3) The bright lights
because the object moving east to west of us as we were
looking southward landing lights shine forward of the plane,
and also, there is several miles of our home.
(4) The object or changed ec d intensity and had no
definite shape or form, just Lighted lightbulb filament
has no definite form-- just radi ting brightness.
Also, this could not have been a meteor or mereorite or falling debris
because of its much slower speed in relation to the speed of a meteor,
meteorite, or falling debtis and because of its much greater size than
any of these, and also due to the fact that the glow maintained a con-

a

stant altitude parallel to the horizon, visible for a relatively long
period of time.
Here are other caleulations and/or approximations concerning the
observation of the Uvo:
DISTANCE FROM OBSERVERS: 2 miles (appTOX.)
ALTITUDE ABOVE GROUND: 300-65O feet (Only apprOX.)
HORIZONTAL ANGLE THROUGH WHICH I OBSERVED THE OBJECT (SiNCe I WAS the
first and the last to observe the object): 96 degrees
DIRECTION: East to west
PROBABLE DISTANCE OBJECT COVERED WHILE VISIBLE TO US:
when at a distance of about two miles.
